Guest Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 In the dim and distant past I decided to rebuild my bike.As it has been quite a while in the making it has probably been forgotten to all but me.However I picked up the bodywork today and here is the result.Unfortunately the colours dont appear true on camera and it is dark but if you see it in the flesh wear tints.....you have been warned!http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8581/firstphotogy0.jpg Quote

Guest Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 looks really nice m8 where did you come up with the ideas to combine all the different styles/paints/colours/patterns ??I chose the colours myself and left Mick (the artist) to use his imagination.In the flesh it is well cool and to be honest to say I was pleased is an understatement!!
